Hedgehog signaling mechanism and role in cancer

Jin Jiang

Summary: Cell-cell communication through evolutionarily conserved signaling pathways plays a crucial role in embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. The Hedgehog (Hh) pathway, originally discovered in Drosophila, has been found to be involved in human development and diseases. Abnormal activation of the Hh pathway is implicated in various human cancers. Studies from model organisms and human patients provide insights into the Hh signal transduction mechanisms and offer potential strategies for targeting this pathway in cancer treatment.

Therapeutic targeting of the USP2-E2F4 axis inhibits autophagic machinery essential for zinc homeostasis in cancer progression

Wenjing Xiao et al.

Summary: The study identified E2F4 as a novel transcriptional activator of cytoprotective autophagy crucial for zinc homeostasis in cancer cells. The interaction between USP2 and E2F4 plays a significant role in regulating autophagy and zinc balance. Targeting the USP2-E2F4 axis could inhibit autophagic machinery essential for cancer progression.

Zinc finger structure determination by NMR: Why zinc fingers can be a handful

David Neuhaus

Summary: Zinc fingers are protein domains containing one or more tetrahedrally co-ordinated zinc ions that stabilize the structure. They are particularly important for small protein domains to maintain a folded state. Due to difficulties in crystallization, NMR has played a more prominent role in studying zinc finger proteins.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

MiR-144-3p inhibits gastric cancer progression and stemness via directly targeting GLI2 involved in hedgehog pathway

Yixun Lu et al.

Summary: This study found that miR-144-3p is downregulated in gastric cancer and acts as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting cancer growth and stemness through regulating GLI2 expression. Experimental results demonstrated that miR-144-3p reduces proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells by targeting GLI2.

GLI1: A Therapeutic Target for Cancer

Justin T. Avery et al.

Summary: GLI1, a transcriptional effector in the Hedgehog signaling pathway, is tightly regulated during normal tissue development but aberrant activation in cancer can promote hallmarks such as proliferation, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Its oncogenic activities mainly involve regulating cell cycle, DNA replication, and DNA damage repair processes. Understanding the mechanisms of GLI1 dysregulation can provide prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers for targeted therapy in cancer treatment.
